METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we examined industry-related compensation (from 2014 to 2020) among physician editors of 35 pathology journals using publicly available data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Open Payments Database.

OBJECTIVES: Gender inequities in editorial board representation and physician compensation are well documented, but few studies have focused on how editors of journals are compensated.

RESULTS: Of the physician editors included, 135 (69.9%) were men and 58 (30.1%) were women. Similar percentages of men and women physicians who were eligible received payments (112/135 [83.0%] men and 51/58 [87.9%] women; P = .38, chi2 test). Of the total transfer of value ( 11,192,532), 112 men received 92,727,555 (91.3%), and 51 women received 8,464,978 (8.7%). Mean total payment per person was ,720,782 for men and 62,058 for women (P = .05). The payment range for men was 8- 7,568,400 and the range of payments for women was 1- ,375,637.
